SELF CARE IS IMPORTANT
Find time for self care. It is important. It's a great option for complimentary care as well as preventive care. Even one massage a month is beneficial.
It’s not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is, what are we busy about?

A FEW BENEFITS OF MASSAGE

Reduces Stress

Not only can massage therapy help with stress relief, but regular massage sessions over a prolonged period of time can boost energy levels, reduce pain, and stimulate individuals on physical as well as emotional levels.

Promotes Muscle Relaxation

Massage targets the source of the body’s pain within tense muscles and by reducing or eliminating pain we can increase flexibility and provide relaxation to the affected muscles as well as the body as a whole. Massage also promotes circulation to the affected or injured muscles, which increases nutrients and oxygen to the damaged tissues. In turn, this increased activity to the affected sites reduces stiffness and edema (swelling) in the muscles and joints. This form of therapy also releases endorphins (pain-killing hormones), which boost the dopamine and serotonin levels in the body. These hormones assist the body in many ways–physically as well as emotionally.

Improves Posture

Massage relaxes the overworked and sore muscles that resulted from bad posture and allow your body to relax into its natural alignment.

Increases Range of Motion

Massage can help maintain and improve flexibility and motion. By working on muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments, and joints, regular massage can improve your flexibility and range of motion, keeping your joints more fluid and making them less injury prone.

Reduces Chronic Pain

Massage can increase a person’s serotonin level, which causes the body to reduce pain naturally.
